New on 19.1! Donkey Hodie | Premieres: May 3, 2021 | Airing M-F at 10 a.m. & 1:30 p.m.

This imaginative new puppet series is set in Someplace Else, an imaginary land first introduced to audiences through Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood. Donkey Hodie — along with her pals, Purple Panda, Duck Duck and Bob Dog, embark on adventures while empowering preschoolers to dream big, work hard and to be resourceful by solving problems on their own — sprinkling in laughter along the way.

*Donkey Hodie will replace the second episode of Daniel Tiger at 10 a.m. Monday through Friday which will shift to a 2 p.m. timeslot.
